Just think about it, since birth human beings have been programmed to think they have to do something to be rewarded. It's all bullshit, there is no such thing as ascension. This is why people who get their asses kicked allot as little kids are always trying to compensate inadequecy some idiot 3 year old told them they have. They grow up trying to get love and acceptance from the things they do, but what they really just need to do is give themselves a hug and quit obfuscating the situation with delusions of spiritual growth.
